Dorigo (INFN, Italy) The conference has been a great mixing of people, approaches, methods, cultures, tools, ideas… in the best tradition of this series ! We can say that the Quark Confinement Conference shares some of the important Macedonian footprints • The coexistence of classic and hellenistic elements from the classic to the idea of hellenistic beauty representation from String theory to the experimental data This is the XII edition of an enterprise started in 1994 Past Editions S. Petersburg (Russia) 2014 Munich(Germany)2012 Madrid (Spain) 2010 Mainz (Germany) 2008 Açores (Portugal) 2006 Sardinia (Italy) 2004 Gargnano (Italy) 2002 Vienna (Austria) 2000 Lab (USA) 1998 Como (Italy) 1996 1994 Como (Italy) 1994 It is more than 20 years that i organise the scientific program of the conference (in collaboration with loc, IAC, conveners..) and the quark confinement has become a community seeing generations of physicists coming in young, becoming old or dying in it, and in fact at each edition we mourn our dear passed away We dedicated Conf12 to the memory of Michael Mueller-Preussker andf we had a commemorative talk by Andre Sternbeck “QCD propagators and vertices from lattice QCD” Along the years the conference changed a lot, it grew in dimension and in scope and ambitions out of his original name, now obsolete, developed new sessions on new growing fields: the deconfinement, the QCD and nuclear physics, the QCD and astrophysics, the strongly coupled theories and now the session on Statical methods for physics analysis in XXI century This shows the extreme vitality, impact and richness of our research field! The conference has by now become and wants to be an important discussion forum in all the areas connected to strong interaction For this reason in 2010 at the Munich edition we started the project of a strong doc that was completed after years of work in 2014 and published in Eur.Phys.J.

We discuss the phenomenon of (inverse) magnetic catalysis for both the de- confinement and chiral transition. We discriminate between the hard and soft wall model, which we suitably generalize to include a magnetic field. Our findings show a critical de- confinement temperature going down, in contrast with the chiral restoration temperature growing with increasing magnetic field. This is at odds with contemporary lattice data, so the quest for a holographic QCD model capable of capturing inverse magnetic catalysis in the chiral sector remains open. 1 Introduction The ongoing heavy ion collision programs (ALICE or RHIC) provide a fertile testing ground for novel experimental, phenomenological and theoretical features of strongly coupled QCD. During the early stages after the collision, a sufficiently hot heat bath is created that leads to the creation of a quark- gluon plasma, an exotic state of deconfined QCD matter. In units of the fundamental QCD scale, ΛQCD, the transition temperature Tdecon f ∼ ΛQCD, so the relevant physics is still strongly coupled.

    Deconfinement and Hadron Resonance Gas for Heavy ∗ Quarks Peter Petreczky Physics Deparment, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973, USA I discuss the deconfinement transition in 2+1 flavor QCD in terms of Polyakov loops as well as the hadron resonance gas for hadrons containing static quarks and charm quarks. PACS numbers: 12.38.Gc,12.38.Mh,25.75.Nq 1. Introduction Heavy quarks and infinitely heavy (static) quarks play an important role when discussing deconfinement transition in strongly interacting matter at high temperatures. The early works on deconfinement considered the free energy of static quark Q as well as the free energy of static quark antiquark (QQ¯) pair [1, 2, 3] and the lattice calculations of these quantities was a focus of many works, see Ref. [4] for a historic review. Deconfinement is closely related to color screening. The production rate of quarkonia, bound states of a heavy quark and anti-quark, was suggested as a probe of deconfinement in heavy ion collisions [5]. The basic idea behind this proposal was that the color screening in the deconfined medium effects the binding of heavy quarks (see also Ref. [6] for a review). Recent lattice QCD studies, however, mostly focus on the chiral aspects of the transition at high temperature, see e.g. Refs. [7, 8] for recent reviews. In this contribution I will discuss the deconfinement in 2+1 flavor QCD with (almost) physical quark masses in arXiv:2011.01466v2 [hep-lat] 28 Dec 2020 terms of Polyakov loops in different renormalization schemes. The Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model has been used to understand the thermodynamics below the cross-over temperature for many years [9, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16].

It is our hope that high energy heavy ion collisions will do the same for strong interaction thermodynamics, that they will become the tool with which we can carry out the experimental analysis of strongly interacting matter. We recall that thermodynamics, in studying the collective behaviour of many components, may well lead to new physics, beyond the known dynamics. In solid state physics, ferromagnetism and superconductivity are just two striking examples of this. We shall see shortly that the statistical mechanics obtained with QCD as dynamical input in fact does predict new states of matter.

Allowing f to be dynamical opens the way to the study of spatially localized classical configurations of the scalar field. We first show that spherically symmetric static Q-balls exist in the range (1 − 1.21) × Tc, Tc being the deconfinement temperature. Then we argue that Q-holes solutions, if any, are unphysical within our framework. Finally, we couple our matter Lagrangian to Einstein gravity and show that spherically symmetric static boson stars exist in the same range of temperature. The Q-ball and boson-star solutions we find can be interpreted as “bubbles” of deconfined gluonic matter; their mean radius is always smaller than 10 fm. Keywords: deconfinement; Matter-gravity coupling; Yang–Mills theory; Q-ball; boson star 1. Introduction A fascinating feature of Yang–Mills theory is the existence of a deconfinement temperature, Tc, above which free color charges (free gluons) may propagate without being confined into color singlets [1,2].

  • Hagedorn's Hadron Mass Spectrum and the Onset of Deconfinement
    Chapter 11 Hagedorn’s Hadron Mass Spectrum and the Onset of Deconfinement Marek Ga´zdzicki and Mark I. Gorenstein Abstract A brief history of the observation of the onset of deconfinement—the beginning of the creation of quark-gluon plasma in nucleus–nucleus collisions with increasing collision energy—is presented. It starts with the measurement of the hadron mass spectrum and Hagedorn’s hypothesis of the limiting temperature of hadronic matter (the Hagedorn temperature). Then the conjecture that the Hagedorn temperature is the phase transition temperature was formulated with the crucial Hagedorn participation. It was confirmed by the observation of the onset of deconfinement in lead–lead collisions at the CERN SPS energies. 11.1 Hadron Mass Spectrum and the Hagedorn Temperature A history of multi-particle production started with the discoveries of hadrons, first in cosmic-ray experiments and soon after in experiments using beams of particles produced in accelerators. Naturally, the first hadrons, discovered in collisions of cosmic-ray particles, were the lightest ones, pion, kaon and . With the rapid advent of particle accelerators new particles were uncovered almost daily. About 1,000 hadronic states are known so far. Their density in mass .m/ increases approxi- mately exponentially as predicted by Hagedorn’s Statistical Bootstrap Model [1] formulated in 1965: .m/ D const ma exp.bm/: (11.1) M.

Box 9506, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands∗ (Dated: December 8, 2013) Abstract The anti-de Sitter/ Conformal Field theory correspondence provides a unique novel perspective on critical phenomena at second order quantum phase transitions in systems with spatial dimensions d > 1. The first half of these lectures will provide technical background to apply the so called "holographic" techniques of the correspondence. The second half discusses the application to quantum phase transitions in condensed matter: how spontaneous symmetry breaking in a quantum critical system is similar and different to the standard case, the notion of semi-local quantum liquids and their connection to non-Fermi liquids and strange metals.

The analysis includes the predictions for various hadron properties in vacuum, as well as the study of the features of deconfinement and chiral restoration phase transitions for systems at finite temperature and/or density. We also address other related subjects, such as the study of phase transitions for imaginary chemical potentials, the possible existence of inhomogeneous phase regions, the presence of color superconductivity, the effects produced by strong external magnetic fields and the application to the description of compact stellar objects.

  • Advances in Quark Gluon Plasma
    Advances in Quark Gluon Plasma Gin´esMart´ınez Garc´ıa SUBATECH, CNRS/IN2P3, Ecole´ des Mines de Nantes, Universit´ede Nantes, 4 rue Alfred Kastler, 44307 Nantes, France (Dated: April 5, 2013) In the last 20 years, heavy-ion collisions have been a unique way to study the hadronic matter in the laboratory. Its phase diagram remains unknown, although many experimental and theoretical studies have been undertaken in the last decades. After the initial experiences accelerating heavy nuclei onto fixed targets at the AGS (BNL, USA) and the SPS (CERN, Switzerland), the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL was the first ever built heavy-ion collider. RHIC delivered its first collisions in June 2000 boosting the heavy-ion community. Impressive amount of experimental results has been obtained by the four major experiments at RHIC: PHENIX, STAR, PHOBOS and BRAHMS. In November 2010, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN delivered lead-lead collisions at unprecedented center-of- mass energies, 14 times larger than that at RHIC. The three major experiments, ALICE, ATLAS and CMS, have already obtained many intriguing results. Needless to say that the heavy-ion programs at RHIC and LHC promise fascinating and exciting results in the next decade. The first part of the lectures will be devoted to introduce briefly the QCD descrip- tion of the strong interaction (as part of the Standard Model of Particle Physics) and to remind some basic concepts on phase transitions and on the phase diagram of matter. In the second part, I will focus on the properties of matter at energy densities above ≈1 GeV/fm3.

In one part of the thesis, we examine a String Theory pre- diction made for Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The prediction is that a QCD string emanating from a quark and carrying color flux can end on a domain wall which has no color charge. Using effective field theoretic methods, we explain how the domain wall carries the color flux of the QCD string to spatial infinity. We use this explanation to predict the phase structure of Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We also examine universal critical phenomena associated with these domain walls. In the rest of the thesis, we show analytically how static test quarks can be confined, even in the deconfined bulk phase. We observe this unusual confinement numerically in an effective field theory for the gauge theory using highly efficient cluster techniques.
